I picked it because when I play it tends to be 1-5am in the Eastern US, so no one's ever one hardly on other games. This way I'll be able to relax a bit more while poking around. My guildies also helped to pick it.

The top tier servers have a strong aussie/oceanic population, balanced with NA/EU for both day and night coverage in WvW.

My server has been in T1 for a few weeks now. We're feeling the pinch since we're pretty heavy NA, but we recently got an OCX guild to transfer over and let me tell you about being dedicated to their guild! One of the officers sold a Sunrise to help fund the transfer for their members.
